FUKMFM

Which side of the plane to sit from Fukuoka Airport (Fukuoka) to Macau International Airport (Macau)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the East Asian coastline, including the rugged mountains of Fujian province and the sprawling urban centers of the Pearl River Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Fukuoka City

Stunning aerial views of Hakata Bay and downtown Fukuoka immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Xiamen Archipelago

The scenic coastal geography of Xiamen and the nearby Kinmen Islands about halfway through the journey.

⛰️

Fujian Mountains

The dramatic, mist-covered mountain ranges of southeastern China visible as you track the coastline.

🏭

Shantou Coastline

Views of the industrial and port activity around the Han River delta area.

🏙️

Zhuhai Skyline

The modern skyscrapers and coastal parks of Zhuhai as the plane banks for its landing at MFM.

The right side is ideal for tracking the mainland Chinese coastline. Choose an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the landscape, as the sun will be behind the aircraft. Keep a lookout for the dense urban clusters of the Pearl River Delta in the final 30 minutes.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌋

Mount Unzen

Distant views of the active volcanic group in Nagasaki Prefecture shortly after departure.

🌊

East China Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water, often filled with large cargo ships and fishing fleets.

🌉

HZMB Bridge

The world-famous Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge stretching across the water during the final descent.

⛰️

Lantau Island

The green mountainous terrain of Hong Kong's largest island visible during the approach to Macau.

Sit on the left if you want to see the sprawling engineering marvel of the bridge connecting Hong Kong and Macau during arrival. Best views occur during the final 15 minutes of flight. Morning flights on this side avoid direct sun glare.
